Regional Fisheries Advisory Committees

Regional Fisheries Advisory Committees are groups that bring together stakeholders, including fishermen, government representatives, and conservationists, to discuss and advise on local fishery management. Their purpose is to ensure sustainable fishing practices while balancing ecological health and economic interests. These committees analyze data, share knowledge, and make recommendations to policymakers on issues like fish stocks, regulations, and habitat protection. By fostering collaboration among various interests, they aim to promote responsible fishing practices that support both the fishing industry and the marine environment.
